Description

The current situation on Education Features is described in this page: Education features, but most of the content is repeated here.
There are a lot arguments for having a single tagging scheme for all educational facilities/institutions:

There has been arguements not to make a amenity=* for everything that exists on the planet.

There are currently several educational facilities not covered, e.g. nurseries (for the very young), childcare (after-school), ... which should from the start be in defined scheme, and not add several amenities more.

There are often places where several educational institutions are under the same roof, which is not possible today.

The time children are taken care of. If service_times:childcare isn't tagged, the fallback value is the one tagged for opening_hours. service_times:childcare always has to be a subset of opening_hours=*. In case service_times:childcare are (wrongly) overlapping, opening_hours=* weights more. So if service_times:childcare states the facility is "open" and opening_hours states it is "closed", it can be interpreted as "closed" overall.

The time the facility is opened. Not necessarily the same time as service_hours (For example different office hours).

Voting

Since it's a rather large proposal, I would like to proceed to a vote in different stages:

Vote on idea of an educational reform

Question: Do you think it is a good idea to attempt a systematic educational reform? (Please note: the current proposal is just a first draft to show the idea, and must of course be worked on very much. It's not the scope of this first phase of discussion/voting to go into details).

If yes, do you think the path of the idea of amenity=educational_facility should be followed.

or the path

education=school;kindergarten

Vote on the proposal

If the principle will be accepted, I will proceed to work on the details of the proposal and bring it eventually to a vote. So, NO VOTE on the proposal itself for the time being.

Vote on the individual proposals "nursery" and "childcare"

In case of rejection of the educational reform (either after the vote on the principle or the proposal itself), we will then reactivate the currently suspended proposals on "nursery" and "childcare", or maybe a modified/fused version of them.
